If any action, at law or in equity, including an action for declaratory relief, is brought to enforce or interpret this contract, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees from the other party, including fees at both the trial and appellate levels, in addition to any other relief that may be awarded.
